The exact experimental determination of the pressure dependence of the explosion limits of hydrogen/oxygen mixtures at 20 °C and 80 °C was investigated. The anomaly in the pressure dependence of hydrogen explosion limits (decrease of the upper explosion limit with increase in pressure), known for hydrogen/air mixtures, could be confirmed for hydrogen/oxygen mixtures. Furthermore it was shown that the impurities in the product gases of the electrolyzer did not exceed 50 % of the lower explosion level in any case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
